Shaken -or- Stirred

The Smokey Whiskey Mule

A surprisingly delicious whiskey based mule that incorporates some non-traditional cocktail ingredients; The Smokey Whiskey Mule is both sweet and spicy. The heat from the ginger beer and Chipotle powder is cooled a bit by the sweet brown sugar notes and the salt from the bacon adds a little extra interest. We found the bacon fat to be a bit of a turn off when it is added to the ice cold beverage but if you’re a bacon / cocktail fan, you should definitely consider giving this one a go.
